I need some tips on my current career plan. Help please?
Sorry for the radio silence! I totally forgot to check back here, but I’ve been busy finalizing my roadmap. I’m 16 now (March 22) and fully committed to becoming a Creative Director and a business owner. I actually pivoted from my original business idea to focus on building a cohesive brand instead. Right now, I’m grinding through dual enrollment at Chaffey College to knock out my GEs and my AA-T in Studio Art while I'm still in high school. My plan is to transfer to CSUSB for a BFA in Design with a minor in Business Administration to get that management foundation. After that, I’m aiming for UCLA or another top UC to get my Master’s (MFA). To make this happen without debt, I’m planning to join the Air National Guard as a Public Affairs Specialist. This will let me serve in California while the state pays for my Bachelor's and Master's degrees. I’d love to hear your thoughts: Do these schools align well with a career in Creative Direction? Also, for those who have served, do you have any tips on balancing a BFA workload with the National Guard? #Spring26
How should I begin to look for a job after college or where should I begin searching?
I am a college freshman majoring in studio art and hoping to become a photographer. I'm worried that being an art major isn't going to help me find a well paying job in the future.
What type of job that aligns with your degree in Studio Art do you have, and how did you get it?
I'm a high school senior planning on getting a BFA in either Studio Art or Sculpture and was wondering what sort of jobs people with BFAs usually get and how-also how much do you make. Is going to college worth it just to make connections and learn to get a job within the field, or is it basically useless?
What can I do to start having a strong art portfolio for art school before I transfer?
Hi! I am a student at community college who’s in a studio art major but has planned to go to art school, specifically art schools that are near me and are well-known for their animation programs like SVA, CalArts, and Moore College of Art and Design. However, I am stuck on how to make a portfolio that could help impress the admissions team of these schools and could showcase my work better. I was thinking of doing stuff that is not shown in sketchbooks much like pop-ups and flip-able pages like the ones in children’s books but I’m not so sure. Any advice or recommendations for a beginner?
What kind of laptop should I buy for college?
I'm majoring in studio art with an emphasis on illustration, as we all do graphic design. My minor is in art therapy, and I'm also taking gen-ed classes. I'll be attending Minnesota State University Moorhead this coming fall as a freshman.
